    • HuangDi NeiJing SuWen: Ancient Ecology from the Yellow Emperor

    A harmonious metal year will be balanced dryness and releasing; distilling to basics in preparation for winter.

    This season is a natural decline after the height of summer.

    (ref. MaoShing Ni, The Yellow's Emperor's Classic of Medicine)

    Healthy Autumn Lifestyle

    Autumn is a time for sorting; same as the intestines sorting nutrients from waste. Sorting through the abundance of Summer and Late Summer, that which is not nourishment is let go and all that is nourishing is stored for Winter.
